Aidan J.Breen -- Sam Maguire Cup - Replica

Replica of the Sam Maguire Cup which is presented to the winner of the All-Ireland (Gaelic) Football Championship. In 2010, my old colleague Dessie Byrne, the silversmith who works out of Kilkenny, asked me to chase the band of Celtic designs around the top of the cup. This was not my first encounter with Sam, as in 1978 Sam’s portrait went missing in action and I made a replacement.
